Cidair,
I understand you had 545iA with Dynamic Drive before. Are you missing DD in M5?

Actually......NO! The suspension of the M5 is so very good tuned that you don?t think about DD.

I miss the Active Steering when driving around town though. But when you get to the twisties the steering is just increadibly precise and sooooo communicative.
The best steering on any BMW I have driven

Nice for you! And what about the rear pasengers? Also fine or still sometimes a bit dizzy after a quick loop?

The times I have my wife in the right seat, I can never drive hard in corners or be too agressive on the throttle - she gets sick really quick :'(

Just have to cruise along in D-mode and P400
